RE: Wounded animal question....
As for me, you took the time to shoot him, now take the time to find him. If he's willing to give his life for the continuation of yours, the least you can do is put every effort into finding him. Size and species are irrelavant.
A quite a few years back I was hunting ducks with my friends and shot a nice Mallard.We were in the marsh,alot of mud and cattails.To make a long story short,she hit the mud and weeds and took my buddy rob and I almost 2 hours to find it.
If you are a hunter,then its your responsibility to give it your best effort.

I look just as hard for a bird as I do for a deer (I havent had to look for many deer, I am a great shot, or lucky
). I have noticed the same thing on TV, and not to happy with it. I feel sick after loosing a bird.

a guy named gutshot asking about .... wounding animals
why does that strike me as a bit funny ?
as to the question - as a general rule, the lesser intelligence a species has, the less emotional attachment to killing or wounding it that we have. losing a few dove aint a big deal somehow, but losing a much more intelligent deer ? that should hit home for anybody hunting

RE: Wounded animal question....
such ethical scemarios are key to hunting,
part of hunting is balancing the law and ethics of pursuing wounded game,
how i respond to people who ask whether to trespass, or break laws to pursue wounded game,
is that the hunter should not put himself in such a position to begin with
shouldnt hunt game on the edge of public lands that is bordered by private land,
unless one has written permission from that landowner to chase game on his land,
same goes for hunting on private land,
if one has a 10 acre lot, chances are large game will end up on neighboring lands,
does the landowner have neighbors permission to chase game on his land?
when balancing between the law and ethics, the law comes first.
